After the presentations the designers each give a Designer’s Pick tour of the Light | Wood exhibition, showcasing their favorite pieces of the exhibition.

"The current vibrant interest among contemporary designers towards making things in wood is a proof of the immunity of this gentle material against rapidly succeeding trends. Wood is still a natural choice for designers and furniture makers in Finland and the material is increasingly topical as the focus is shifting towards sustainability and environmental issues. " - Kirsi Gullichsen, curator of the exhibition

The exhibition is produced by Design Forum Finland, the promotion organization of Finnish design, and curated by architect, furniture designer Kirsi Gullichsen. It is realized in cooperation with the Embassy of Finland in Chile and Bienal de Diseño Chile. The exhibition originated from the wish of the Biennial to see Finland as the theme country of the design event in 2013.
